Sections that are now pages don't display a page; they only display a nav #54

This is a widely-discussed issue apparently. One solution from this thread is to make new functions to check whether a page is empty, etc.

Related to #50

This is really tricky. Even if it's possible to trick Omeka into getting the first nonempty page using the function linked to above, it still doesn't seem to want to render it, and then all the other things on the page (the selection of the current nav item, the next/prev items) all need to be customized, too. This might be too much work for what it's worth.

Hi Jon,

Is there a way to edit the exhibits to take care of it?

That might be the easiest option at this point. That would be easy to do with some old exhibits that have pages with the same names as their parent sections. For example, in "America's Bohemia," the section "Dining Out" has a page called "Dining Out" which might be moved to the parent section to solve the problem of empty section pages. I'll keep looking for other solutions, though.

OK I might try uploading the newest version to the nj site. And editing their current exhibits. On Mar 9, 2014 7:42 PM, "Jonathan Reeve" notifications@github.com wrote:

Feel free to give it a try, although I might wait until this weekend when more of the bugs will be fixed. The Development branch has all the new changes: https://github.com/JonathanReeve/theme-elementaire/tree/development

Ok-- I will try it with the NJ class, there are only about 6 exhibits from last year and at least one of the students has been wanting to start working on her exhibit early. I've had her using a default theme for the time being.

CathyHajo commented 10 years ago

Jon-- I have put the elementaire theme on the NJ site and messed around with it a little. I made all the existing exhibits "private" until I'm able to edit them. But one thing I noticed is that the customizations that they had don't seem to have made the transition from Omeka 1.3.5. So the background images, color and font choices and the like are not there. I can probably get in touch with the students, but it will be a far larger hassle to revise the Greenwich Village one if that happens. Did you have that problem when you upgraded the test site?
